Once the associate degree is earned, the student automatically earns their high school diploma.

Complete a culminating project and High School and Beyond Plan. Your high school counselor will help you plan each step to complete your high school graduation requirements.
Pass State Tests or State-approved alternative.

Students must earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA), by passing the reading and writing High School Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) and an End-of-Course (EOC) mathematics exam, or an approved alternative for each area.

Approved alternatives at Bates Technical High School include successful completion of our college transition courses: English 090 or 091, and Math 096 or 098.
